Explore why our push piers are the prime choice for foundational repairs, standing as a beacon of trust and quality in the industry.
This guide explains what push piers are and how they work, underlining their necessity and the advantages of choosing Tar Heel Basement Systems.
Understanding Push Piers
Push Piers are crafted from galvanized steel and mechanically driven into the ground beneath your foundation until they reach a stable soil layer or bedrock to offer reliable support. These devices go beyond unstable and shifting soils to find a solid foundation for your home.
Functioning as resistance piers, these systems reach a point of resistance deep in the ground, establishing a strong, resilient support base for your dwelling. They integrate seamlessly with a range of solutions for foundation settlement, basement waterproofing, crawl space insulation, and concrete repairs, offering a comprehensive strategy to maintain the structural health of your home over a long period.
